Multitier architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Three-tier' is a client-server architecture in which the user interface, functional process logic ("business rules"), data storage and data access are developed and maintained as independent modules, most often on separate platforms.

ABC: An Introduction to SOA p.3 - 0 views

  • Advantages of an SOA strategy:
  • 1. Better alignment with the business
  • Enterprise architecture
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 2. A better way to sell architecture to the business (and IT).
  • It means business people can visualize, for the first time, how their businesses are constructed in terms of technology.
  • When IT projects are put in terms of business activities and processes rather than complex software applications, business people can better appreciate and support IT projects
  • Reuse, improved productivity and agility in IT and a software infrastructure tuned to specific business processes

Service-oriented architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Service-orientation describes an architecture that uses loosely coupled services to support the requirements of business processes and users
  • Resources on a network[1] in an SOA environment are made available as independent services that can be accessed without knowledge of their underlying platform implementation
  • SOA, Web 2.0, and mashups

Innovate and optimize business operations with business process management (BPM), Part ... - 0 views

  • Discover how business process management (BPM) fits into the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) life cycle. This series, using architectural scenarios, explains how BPM, when combined with SOA, provides greater flexibility for your business processes and IT infrastructure.

Four reasons why governments trust Microsoft - www.office.com/setup - 0 views

  •  
    As governments strive to become more responsive and transparent, it's important for them to make public information easily accessible to citizens. At the same time, it's critical that they protect confidential data. A key reason why governments choose Microsoft Office 365 is Microsoft's leadership in the industry when it comes to privacy, security, and compliance practices. In short, governments know they can trust Microsoft to help protect their data. So how does Microsoft demonstrate leadership and why exactly do governments trust Office 365 to help protect their data? Here are four reasons: We respect your privacy. Google is under criticism for its privacy practices. Office 365 does not build advertising products out of customer data, unlike other companies. Nor do we scan your email or documents for building analytics, data mining, or advertising, or to improve the service. What's more, you own your data. Office 365 customer data belongs to the customer. Customers can remove their data whenever they choose. Office 365 is independently verified. Office 365 is compliant with many world-class industry standards, and it is verified by third parties. For example, Office 365 is the first major business productivity public cloud service to have implemented the rigorous set of physical, logical, process, and management controls defined by ISO 27001, one of the best security benchmarks available in the world. In addition, Office 365 is the first major business productivity public cloud service provider to sign the standard contractual clauses created by the European Union ("EU Model Clauses") with all customers. Office 365 also implements security processes that adhere to the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) required by U.S. federal agencies and to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). With Office 365, you know where your data is located. Office 365 customers know where major Office 365 datacenters are located

» The story of Web 2.0 and SOA continues - Part 1 | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNe... - 0 views

  • Web 2.0 and SOA really are largely (but not 100%) the same concepts that merely lay on different — if fairly different — parts of the software continuum
  • SOA is the dominant design paradigm in business software today
  • The core principle of SOA is the decomposition of software into sets of services which can be used and composed into new applications that have a very high level of integration and reuse.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • SOA and Web 2.0 have also crossed over considerably around Rich Internet Applications and Ajax.
  • Web-Oriented Architecture
  • SOAP is not Web-oriented
  • but competing protocols such as REST, and now ATOM, are very clearly Web-oriented
  • This is one reason that Google got rid of its SOAP search API
  • Project Astoria, downloadable today in CTP form here, makes it possible to expose almost any ADO-compliant database as a set of granular, queryable URLs in simple REST form.
  • Project Astoria
  • there are literally thousands of software platforms and enviroments that presently exist in the world. And if they don’t speak your unique flavor of SOA (SOAP and WS-*), interopability with them won’t (and doesn’t) happen.
  • With WOA, anyone that can speak HTTP — the fundamental protocol of the Web — and anyone that can process XML, which is to say just about every tool and platform that exists today, can interoperate and work together simply, safely, and easily and build applications on top of one another services.
  • Importantly, mashups are a key outcome of the trend towards WOA and most mashups are based on REST or REST-like services.
  • Astoria is a solid example of how major software companies are now committing serious and disciplined effort to “WOA-ify” our traditional enterprise datastores

» BPM and SOA need each other | Service-Oriented Architecture | ZDNet.com - 0 views

  • Agility is important, and SOA is all about agility, but agility is really IT’s concern and not the central focus of business executives, nor is dealing with change the key objective of BPM.
  • BPM’s top-down model-initiated approach can actually accelerate the SOA rollout by fostering business-IT alignment with concrete performance metrics, and encouraging an iterative approach to the production implementation.

BPM & SOA - 0 views

  • the separation of business process management as an independent function, allowing processes to be designed independently of any single application and leveraged as shared business logic.
  • the concept of orchestration is rooted in the fundamental shift of application design towards the delivery of software as a service, evolving from the maturation of both J2EE and Web services.
  • The process-driven and service-oriented architecture presented by the combination of SOA and BPM provides an ideal environment for building adaptable, model-driven composite applications or "composite apps" from existing IT assets and infrastructure.

  • service-oriented architecture is a strategy that proclaims the intention to build all the software assets in the company using the service-oriented programming methodology
  • Services are software chunks, or components, constructed so that they can be easily linked with other software components. The idea behind these services is simple
  • the only difference is that today, the ambition for the size and sophistication of these software objects is far more grand.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Developers create the abstraction by building a complex wrapper around the bundled code. This wrapper is an interface
  • use the simple object access protocol (SOAP) to build a single link to the carefully crafted interface that wraps around the service
  • For example, at telecom company Verizon, the service called "get CSR" (get customer service record) is a complex jumble of software actions and data extractions that uses Verizon's integration infrastructure to access more than 25 systems in as many as four data centers across the country. Before building the "get CSR" service, Verizon developers who needed that critical lump of data would have to build links to all 25 systems—adding their own links on top of the complex web of links already hanging off the popular systems. But with the "get CSR" service sitting in a central repository on Verizon's intranet, those developers can now use the simple object access protocol (SOAP) to build a single link to the carefully crafted interface that wraps around the service >. Those 25 systems immediately line up and march, sending customer information to the new application and saving developers months, even years, of development time each time they use the service.
